It Friday, Bitch!

Things have actually deteriorated around here since I started the whole "Friday I'm in Love" thing. Crappy stuff happening to the family, fewer readers on the blog. . .I think I'm not meant to be filled with happiness and light.

Welcome to "It's Friday, Bitch!", wherein I list this things that have happened in the past week   past two weeks have filled me with love, happiness, mirth or schadenfreude. Yeah, I forgot to finish this post last week. And now I have some sort of nasty cold/sinus infection/death cough going on, which is my excuse for slacking this week, but at least I'm trying, right?

1. As our family slowly recovered from the world's most evil stomach virus (how come there's no shot for that?), Lovebug asked me, "Can you die from the stomach virus?" He asks such good questions. Good thing he asked after I'd started to feel better.

2. Apparently some dudes want to make "masculinism" a thing, because men are so oppressed in so many cultures and 1 in 3 of them will be raped or beaten in their lifetimes. . . oh, wait, no, that's women. Apparently some dudes are total whiners.

3. So I like to shop for my kids, which works out well because one of them is always outgrowing their entire wardrobe. Unfortunately, this blog is not the lucrative gold mine it appears to be. However, I've recently discovered ThredUp, which lets me mail in stuff they've hardly worn and get money for it. Money that I can spend on the reasonably priced stuff ThredUp is selling. And if you click one of those links, you'll get $10 off of your first order.

4. Wipeout. When everyone is too sick to do anything but crawl to the bathroom, you watch a lot of TV. But at least this show doesn't make me want to choke the writers (Max and Ruby staff, I'm talking to you) or feel guilty about letting my kids see it (every other show I enjoy watching except for Project Runway).

5. Ironflower and Lovebug were apparently awesome at the world dance presentation at the library this week. The sainted Hot Guy took them so that I would not terrify people with my death cough, but the photos make me so proud.

I don't have one of Ironflower because hers are all with other kids and I'm not up to editing today. 

6. Hugmonkey has been trying to take care of me this week, which is just the cutest thing ever. He also had his first real play date this week, with the younger sister of Ironflower's best friend. 

7. Community is back on television, where it belongs. 

8. Deborah Crombie has a new book out, which is great if you have an English police detective fetish like I do.
